C. II. Jones, as a newcomer, and
author of the " Old Timer" letter, ought
not to hold short residence in the State
against General Bentley and Mr.. Moran.
But consistency in his "Old Timer"
prejudices is not to be expected of man
who uses the editorial columns of his pa
per to browbeat corporations because
they do not give him their entire job
printing and scatter passes to the right
and left.-7dcdres Herald.

MIR. 5. Weller Johnston has sold the
DeLand Orange Ridge Echo to Mr..
Charles II. Webb who appears as its
editor and proprietor, as he also is
Of the DeLeon Springs Courier.
In conducting two papers in different
places Mr.. Webb assumes a somewhat
unusual business, but he is a man of un-
usual enterprise and much ability. Our
kind wishes go with the retiring editor,
who became such at eighteen years OF
age, and has done his work cleverly for
more than three years past.

-Thei latest exploit of the editor of
the Times Union was to damage Jack
sonville and Florida generally as much as
be could by advertising California as the
place TO which all the tourists are flock
ing. In this he is not sustained by facts
As usual. The proof that he was not
has been thrust so fairly in his face that
even a " calamity liar" cannot deny that
he sees it. How long will Jacksonville
tolerate the editor of the Times Union ?
How long will it be before stock COM
Pany of indignant citizens buy him out of
the paper and their city-lest it be Judged
by the press it sustains And he is a
load for the democratic party upon which
be thrust himself to carry-this deceitful
and false-tongued writer of the sold
Timer" letter. How long, oh how long,
shall he disgrace Florida journalism!
